Ricky Hawkins, age 64, of Worcester, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on August 5, 2024. Born in Worcester on February 19, 1960, to Chester and Ruby Hawkins, Ricky was a lifelong resident and a cherished member of the community.

Ricky was known for his fun-loving spirit and his passion for making mixed tapes, a hobby that brought joy to both him and those lucky enough to receive one. He loved sitting in the sun, reminiscing about old times, and his presence was a source of happiness for all who knew him.

Ricky is survived by his beloved wife of 30 years, Cerrita L. Hawkins, and their extended family. He was a brother to Tina Whaley, Jimmy Hawkins, Ray Hawkins, Bobby Hawkins, and Duane Hawkins. His life was also enriched by many nieces and nephews who will miss his playful and caring nature. Ricky was preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Ruby Hawkins, as well as his sisters, Sharon Richardson and Karen Hawkins.
